Storm's Blaze is one of this new British company's hot models, along with the Inferno. The latter is geared up for instructors heading towards their speed test; the Blaze is a step down from this and suits mere mortals aiming down the groomers. We think it's one of the picks of the Storm range, too; it's not cheap but has a good feel and plenty of power when called upon. With one of the narrowest profiles around, this does feel responsive and light from edge to edge.
